I've been truly amazed at the depth of the kowtowing. The richest and most powerful seem almost eager to bow down. Seriously--Columbia University, e.g., is so rich in real estate holdings. Can't they afford to lose some federal funding? Paul Weiss? I used to think it was conspiracy theory think to believe there was a cabal among the people at the top of the food chain, but it's now clear to me that it's true.

The thing about rich people is they never, ever want to spend money. Seeing numbers go down for any reason is anathema to them. Money isn't a tool for them, it is life. They literally see $$$ as their health bar. The only goal is to earn more money, so they can find new ways to get more money. Why? To get more money.
